new guy from nebraska

I just found this site and had to sign on. Started my cycling life as a roadie, found my real calling in ITT, and just started mountain biking about six years ago. My bikes are a softride Power V set up w/ 650c and ultegra 600 for ITT, and old Cannondale 2.8, now on its eighth life, just getting a bunch of new goodies from Uncle Sam, and an equally old Cannondale Super V that is enjoying my tax return as well. Thats all for now.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I've been torn many times as to weather I should upgrade my old bike or get a new one. your bike, over time becomes like an old pair of shoes, no longer shiney or in fashion, but very comfortable

There's a "vintage" bike ride around here that shows how much some people and their bikes fit together rather well. They say that people eventually start looking like their dogs. I think the same may be said about people and their bikes.
